TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around users experiencing issues with the Thailand Pass application process, primarily related to persistent API server errors. Many advice on potential fixes, including browser suggestions, adjusting document formats (such as using JPG instead of PDF), and trying different devices for submission. The consensus is to apply for the pass at least 7 days before travel, with some users reporting successful applications after several attempts. Furthermore, there are discussions about necessary paperwork, particularly health insurance requirements for travelers based on their nationality.

sawasdee khrab. Yes, ThaiPass will not accept PDF, so just open your document on your phone and take a screenshot. The screenshot is the same as taking a picture, it creates a JPG. For each required document submit your JPG copy. You should have no problem. Cheers!

Is this instead of the Thai issued covid passport that one can obtain after being vaccinated in Thailand? I admit I don't understand what this new veil of admin and paperwork does - I thought all those procedures were in place and working already. Plus it raises the well know concern that it could well change at anytime .

Bypass error message at the Thailand pass !!!

I have several friends who have tried applying for the Thailand Pass online. One from the Emirates and one from Austria and Germany, but there is always an error message. I have found a way of helping everyone to get their Thailand passport. If you are interested, please PN.

@Peter ********

Almost everyone apply for visa first or obtain it first unless you plan to enter to thailand with a visa exempt status. For visa exempt apply for thai pass without visa. If you need visa then apply for it first, in some cases you may actually need visa info during thai pass application.
